Long before TV, they were mining for phosphates in Sumter County. There was a railroad that came down to Cherry Lake (i.e. Lake Sumter) and they may have had a canal going from Lake Miona to Cherry Lake.
The phosphates mined west of Lake Miona may have been put on a boat and transported thru the canal to the railroad on Cherry Lake.
Maybe that is where the 'canal' name came from.
